Liebert Raises the Bar on Surge Suppression with Next Generation PowerSure Surge II


Three new surge suppressors protect sensitive electronics against surges on power and data lines

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 4, 2003 ­ Liebert® Corporation, an Emerson Network Power company, today introduced the PowerSure Surge II, three new surge suppressors delivering cost-effective, computer-grade power protection for desktop computers and their peripherals, audio visual systems, phone systems and cable modems. Designed for professional desktop and network environments, PowerSurge II delivers a high degree of protection with integrated transient voltage surge suppression (TVSS) circuitry to prevent spikes, surges and other anomalies from damaging sensitive electronics through power or data lines.

"PowerSure Surge II is the surge suppression system you'd expect from the world leader in high availability computer support systems," said Tony Marrow, PowerSure product manager at Liebert. "We have more experience with high availability power systems than anybody in the business and that experience is reflected in the design of these new surge suppressors."

The PowerSure Surge II family includes three models allowing users to easily tailor surge suppression to their equipment needs. The Professional Series delivers basic protection for desktop systems with eight outlets providing peak surge current protection of 30,000 Amps. The Network Series adds data line protection ideally suited for network, broadband applications and increased peak surge protection to 60,000 Amps. The DSS series, which includes phone line protection and eight protected power outlets, adds dual input coaxial surge suppression designed for audiovisual and broadband applications utilizing a cable modem.

All PowerSure Surge II models feature:

- Eight surge protected outlets with spacing for three transformer blocks and two continuously powered, always-on outlets to support a wide range of equipment and applications

- Thermal fuses that inhibit destructive and dangerous surges from reaching connected equipment if the surge suppressor fails

- Site wiring fault indicator to identify reverse wiring in the wall socket that can create equipment problems

- High joule ratings ­ 600J on the Professional Series and 900J on the Network and DSS models ­ enable absorption of high energy surges without damage

- Electromagnetic and radio frequency interference filtering eliminates electrical noise on the utility power input

- Availability indicator provides visual assurance that the system is operational

- Two-year warranty

PowerSure Surge II pricing ranges from $27 to $53, depending upon the model.
